Cat urine can completely ruin some surfaces. Luckily, laminated floors are an exception. Laminated flooring is an increasingly popular choice among homeowners because of its ease in cleaning and maintenance. Because laminate flooring is relatively non-porous, liquids are not easily absorbed. If cleaned up quickly and thoroughly, the cat urine will leave no lasting marks or odours on your laminate floors.

Soak up cat urine with paper towels as soon as it is found. Because laminate floors are relatively non-porous, the liquid will sit on top of the laminate floor, making it easy to clean. Avoid letting it sit too long, though, because excessive liquids can seep between the planks, causing the floor to expand.
